Not 'if' you charge more, but how much?

I charge $100 USD. That is for a simply oval hole which is reinforced with a veneer on the inside. If you are looking at a fancier design or a bound port than you might want to add some extra.

Nope, just a simple pokey through oughta do. That's sorta what I figured as well. I've only done one as a retrofit, so in process seems a lot easier...
